      The Forward Capacity Market (FCM) ensures that the New England power system will have sufficient resources to meet the future demand for electricity. Forward Capacity Auctions (FCAs) are held annually, three years in advance of the operating period. Resources compete in the auctions to obtain a commitment to supply capacity in exchange for a market-priced capacity payment. These payments help support the development of new resources. Capacity payments also help retain existing resources. For example, they incentivize investment in technology or practices that help ensure strong performance. They also serve as a stable revenue stream for resources that help meet peak demand but don’t run often the rest of the year.

      If you’re new to or need guidance with FCM processes, follow the FCM Participation Guide.

      FCM Participation Guide

      Materials

      Forms and other FCM-related information are accessible below. Use the Key Topic filter to sort materials by capacity commitment period. Use the Document Type filter to find specific types of materials.

      DataResults of the Annual Forward Capacity Auctions Table

      • See the FCM section in ISO Express for a large selection of current and historical ISO reports, including on the offers, bids, and results of reconfiguration auctions and capacity supply obligation bilateral periods.
      • See the summary table of Forward Capacity Auction results by year on the Key Stats—Markets page.
      • See Summary of Historical Installed Capacity Requirements and Related Values Tables.
      • See Status of Nonprice Retirement Requests and Retirement De-List Bids—a list of future and historical resource retirements including non-price retirement requests and priced retirement delist bids.
      • See Forward Capacity Auction Capacity Obligations, which lists capacity supply obligations for each resource by Forward Capacity Auction.

      FCM Parameters

      For your convenience, important parameters for each Forward Capacity Auction, such as qualification thresholds and cost of new entry (CONE) values, are grouped in two ways:

      • Quick view of parameters per individual capacity commitment period
      • Spreadsheet of all parameters and capacity commitment periods

      Tools

      • Subscribe to the Capacity (ICAP and FCM) Announcements mailing list (hit send when the subscription email opens up) to receive FCM-related notices from the ISO.
      • Access the Capacity Exchange eBulletin Board that helps businesses or other organizations find partners for composite offers or bilateral contracts in ISO New England’s Forward Capacity Auction.
      • Use the Forward Capacity Tracking System (FCTS) to submit a show of interest and qualification package information for the FCM.
      • See Planning Procedure to Support the Forward Capacity Market (PP-10).
      • See Applications and Status Changes if you need to make changes to your ISO account.
